Hello,
Wanted to follow up on my action item on todayâ€™s call as part of the
survey and areas for investigation:
We need to explore what are the tradeoffs between:
1. Having global schema at the RDBMS level (i.e., among multiple
database instances) and as a result integrating RDF resulting from
mapping different RDBMS instances is easy/ready for integration.
One common approach to reconcile rdbms schemas is the use of MDM
(Master Data Mgmt) technology.
2. An alternative is to do the reconcilation between individual
mappings, of each individual rdbms instance to RDF, at higher
level. This implies good optimization effort at the RDF level to
reconcile (i.e., mapping ontologies to each other), etc.
It would be interesting to have this issue as an issue that we look at
deeper.
Regards,
Ahmed
